I see in man find: TESTS -empty File is empty and is either a regular file or a directory. ACTIONS -delete Delete files; true if removal succeeded. If the removal failed, an error message is issued. If -delete fails, find's exit status will be nonzero (when it eventually exits). Use of -delete automatically turns on the `-depth' option. Warnings: Don't forget that the find command line is evaluated as an expression, so putting -delete first will make find try to delete everything below the starting points you specified. When testing a find command line that you later intend to use with -delete, you should explicitly specify -depth in order to avoid later surprises. Because -delete implies -depth, you cannot usefully use -prune and -delete together. On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 9:44 AM, jdd@dodin.org <jdd@dodin.org> wrote:

this command works:

find . -type d -empty -delete

but I find no trace in find manual of these two options ("predicates"), where one can find them?
